AI: Saviors or Successors?
Main insperation
Saviors (Benefits)
Error Reduction
Artificial intelligence helps us in reducing the error and the chance of reaching accuracy with a greater degree of precision.
Exploration in hostile areas
AI and robotics and be used to explore areas that would be much more dangerous for humans to go initially, such as outer space and other planets, fuel mining and the bottom of the ocean.
Machines are considerably more durable than humans, and thus are much more effective at manual labor.
Repetitive Jobs
Repetitive jobs that often require little effort and are almost always monotonous can be carried out with the help of AI, this has already been implemented in a few areas already, such as car manufacturing, and self-checkouts.
Machines think faster than humans, and can multitask much easier, along with the fact that they are physically incapable of being bored, they can perform the same procedure perfectly almost every single time, while a human would be much more prone to error.
Medical Applications
In the medical field also, we will find the wide application of AI. Doctors assess the patients and their health risks with the help of artificial machine intelligence. It educates them about the side effects of various medicines.
Medical professionals are often trained with artificial surgery simulators. It finds a huge application in detecting and monitoring neurological disorders as it can simulate the brain functions.
Successors (Drawbacks and the possible succession theory)
The Succession Theory
If humanity is able to create truly sentient Artificial Intelligence that is friendly towards to humanity and doesn't blow us up in a heartbeat, then we will have created something that is fundamentally superior to us.
It takes hundreds of thousands of years for humans to evolve and change even the smallest thing about us, but for self improving AI it would take nanoseconds.
This would indicate that if we were to build such machines, they would become the new dominent species on the planet, and we would essentially be their parents.
This could lead to the rather unpleasant idea that the entire purpose of the human race is to create the machine empire.
"Man becomes as it were, the sex organs of the machine world."
This type of AI would be a million times smarter, faster more creative and more creative than ourselves, and it is very likely that there will be no off switch.
Drawbacks
High Monetary Cost
Creation of artificial intelligence requires huge costs as they are very complex machines. Their repair and maintenance require huge costs.
They have software programs which need frequent up gradation to cater to the needs of the changing environment and the need for the machines to be smarter by the day.
In the case of severe breakdowns, the procedure to recover lost codes and reinstating the system might require huge time and cost.
Unemployment
With many much more common jobs being replaced by AI, since they are much cheaper to manage then humans, as well as being able to work for much longer periods of time, there is a risk of large-scale unemployment, which is something that should seriously be avoided.
